You also have a chance to fully customize your message that goes out to your customers. This feature was always included in push notifications, but it fits in nicely with the update. Change every single message that goes out, and include links to wherever you want people to get navigated to.
Add An In-App Landing Page To Push People To Your Own App

For example, if you plan on sending out a special or promotion you can add the link to your current Coupons page.

GPS Updated Push Notifications for the Ultimate Tracking and Marketing Plan
You hear it all the time: Smartphones are like little tracking devices that everyone carries around. Some people are uncomfortable with this idea, but most accept it. Take advantage of this market change by using a new feature through our push notification system called GPS Notifications. This features lets you designate a particular location on a map and outline it. When a customer drives or walks into this area they receive a notification.
For example, let’s say you run a hot dog stand in Chicago. You probably cater to a wide range of customers who find you by foot or go a little out of their way to grab a hot dog. In general you receive most of your business from people in the area. If someone crosses into your borders you can automatically send them a buy one get one free coupon or even just remind them to grab the best lunch in town, and remind them of the location. This feature is similar to a dog collar. You set the boundaries and the device is alerted when someone crosses the border.
GPS notifications also work nicely if you only want to reach out to people in a particular area. Let’s take a band for example. Your fans aren’t moving around into different locations, so you can’t send out automatically triggered Updated Push Notifications.
What you can do is send out notifications based on current locations. So if your band is having a show in Boston next week then you can send out a reminder to everyone with your app in Boston. The next week you can send out Updated Push Notifications to the next city.
